Since TV became a factor in presidential politics in 1960, Americans have never elected a man that didn’t have important-looking hair (Ford wasn’t elected, W – while always in need of a trim – at least doesn’t have hairline issues, and LBJ had that Jack Nicholson look going for him).
Will his bald spot turn out to be Fred Thompson’s kryptonite?
Maybe. Perhaps it’s time to resurrect the tradition of wearing a hat.
It doesn’t seem to be getting in Giuliani’s way.
Also, there is something about a candidate with “flowing locks” that makes me a little suspicious. Especially when he spends $400 at a salon.
Fred Thompson is so anti-hippy his hair falls out; out of respect.
I think that in a debate, his tough, rugged look will beat out John Edwards’ nancy boy look.
Let’s see. Patrick Stewart ( Jean Luc Pickard). I’d follow this Captain of the Enterprise anywhere.
Vin Diesel- not bad, not bad at all.
Yul Brenner- kept ladies hearts a flutter during the 40’s thru the 60’s
Hair or no hair, makes no difference to me. It’s what’s in the heart and mind that matter.
Slick Willy had plenty of hair. Must be why his brain had such a hard time working correctly. All those hair roots strangling his brain
George Looney Clooney, has more hair than sense. Go figure. (Variety’s take on their new movie Oceans 13 “As smooth as a good mojito, as stylish as an Armani suit and as meaningful in the grand scheme of things as yesterday’s Las Vegas betting odds”. ) Sounds just like Looney and Pits. Sound and fury signifying nothing.
yeah right. Kerry’s hair didn’t get him elected, did it? Americans fear/respect a bald man. They look tough (the “Bruce Willis effect”), and even if Fred Thompson just sits on a Mountaintop somewhere in Alaska through the election season, his bald-awesomeness alone will be enough to get him elected.
a squeegieman once tried to clean rudy’s head when he rolled the window down to give him a dime,hence the big crackdown!!

It’s been nice reading your posts on IMAO Harvey! Now that you have insulted Mr. Fred Thompson you will be hearing from him very soon. I’m thinking the last thing you will ever hear before entering the Pit-Of-Doom will be something like “punk-ass-bitch”…
I don’t think I can recall LBJ and Richard Nixon having a great deal of hair. Perhaps baldness has more do with being a bad president than being an elected one.
UPDATE: Fred Thompson has crushed Harvey into dust with his beautiful, gleaming dome for making such an allegation.
True, Nixon did have hairline issues, but – like LBJ – had a bit of slicked-back Nicholson action to make up for it.
Thompson, on the other hand, has a bald spot. He may be better off giving his melon a good shave ala Bruce Willis.
Bald spot?
Fred Thompson didn’t lose his hair, it’s hiding out of fear of him.
Fred Thompson being a mans manly mans man laughs at Harvey’s obvious issues with his own masculenity and suggests that Harvey seek a boyfriend who will boost his self image next time…
There is no Kryptonite for Fred Thompson. End of story.
Fred Thompson is evr the gentleman. He never wields his bald spot at unsuspecting bystanders.
He uses it only to blind Socialists and Hippies in their tracks.
The bald spot is where the hair has been rubbed off by people wishing for a share of his power. Rubbing Fred!’s head is little known fertility drug substitute for some cultures in the South. :-p
Fred Thompson is simply waiting for the day of his inauguration so that he may use the beard of Osama Bin Laden as a hairpiece and the defeated Hillary Clinton’s Inaugural dress for drapes in the Oval Office.

No. Fred’s bald spot is intentional. It is out of mercy for the rest of us that he purposely shaves part of his head to give other people a shot at dating women once in a while.
No problem. Fred! cut a deal with Silky Pony for a follicle credit for the duration of the campaign.
Considering the women he has dated in his day, I’d say that his “hair issues” exist only in the minds of those who can’t handle The Fred….
bald “spot”?? spun positively, at least he hasn’t gone the Carl Levin Combover route.
Fred Thompson’s bald spot gives Fred Thompson that Fred Thompson look, and that’s all he needs.
The Fred Thompson look makes the Jack Nicholson look look like the Pee Wee Herman look.
Fred Thompson’s bald spot is capable of firing lasers.
